Dental insurance offers great benefits that can offset a portion or even all of the costs of your dental cleanings, exams, and your treatment.

Most dental insurance plans today are PPOs, also known as “preferred provider organizations.” If you visit a dentist who is in network for your plan, typically you’ll pay less than if you go to a dentist who is out of network.

When you provide us with your policy information, we can contact your dental insurance provider and determine the extent of your benefits. That way, we can help you make the most of your dental insurance. We can also file a “predetermination of benefits,” and as soon as your dental insurance company responds, you’ll have a better idea of what the insurance plan will cover, and what you’ll need to pay.

Dental insurance coverage varies widely from insurance plan to insurance plan, but in general, preventive services (such as exams, X-rays, and cleanings) are covered at a higher percentage than other dental procedures (such as crowns, root canals, and dental implants).

IV sedation is sometimes covered by insurance plans, depending on the type of procedure.
